Dear Friends, One of the best known stories in the Old Testament is the story of God speaking to Moses from the burning bush. As Moses stared at the bush and realised that he was in the presence of God, he was aston­ ished to see that, although the bush was on fire, it was not burning up. In the dry heat of the Middle East it was not surprising that a bush should catch fire. That the bush should keep on burning was unusual. That’s what Moses found so strange. Back in 1691 the burning bush first appeared as the emblem of the Church of Scotland, There is no record indicating that any General Assembly of the Church gave its approval for the use of the burning bush as the Kirk’s official emblem, but it was a wise choice. The logo, familiar today on many Church notice boards, certificates, and offi­ cial documents, was designed in 1930 by a prominent Glasgow artist, Sir David Cameron. Around his design of the logo three Latin words were in­ scribed. These three words mean ; “It is not consumed”. In spite of falling Communion Rolls, less people attending Sunday worship, and the present shortage of ordained ministers, the ever burning bush which was not consumed should reassure us all that the Church will remain in Scot­ land for as long as the world continues. From the bush, God called Moses to take a new direction in his life, and to take on extra responsibility at an age when most men would be looking for­ ward to an early retirement! Moses immediate reaction was typical. He made excuses. Surely it wasn’t a good idea for him to return to Egypt to lead his people to their own land. However, that was God’s plan, and not Moses' plan. One by one the difficul­ ties and hurdles were overcome and under God, the Israelites eventually set­ tled in their own land promised to them by God. God’s plan and purpose was fulfilled. I’m writing about this old story because Stamperland Parish Church has come through a time of uncertainty. Whereas the Israelites had forty years to wait for God’s plan to be accomplished, you have only had to wait less than four years!. Go forward confidently on to the next chapter in the life of the congregation. Yours in Christ’s service, Jcu^VruuvMtovui' 4. Baptisms 27th August Lucy Elizabeth Dale 90 The Oval.

LIFE iWORK THE MAGAZINE Of THE CHURCH Of SCOTLAND 5. REV SCOTT BLYTHE - OUR MINISTER ELECT I am delighted to write that the Rev Scott Blythe, BSc, BD, MBA, will be our new minister. Scott preached as sole nominee on Sunday 3rd Septem­ ber at services in Netherlee and Stamperland Churches. After each service, members and adherents of both congregations voted on whether or not they wished to call Scott to be the new minister of Stamperland Church and, on the retirement of Rev Tom Nelson, the minister of the linked congregations of Netherlee and Stamperland. The result of the ballot was announced by Reverend Gray Fletcher, our Interim Moderator, at a meeting of both congregations held in Stamperland Church on the Sunday afternoon. The votes cast were “For 367” and “Against 3”. Both congregations will now arrange for members and adherents to “Sign the Call” inviting Scott to be our new minister. The “Call” can be signed by all members and adherents - not just those who heard Scott preach - as well as leaders and members of church organisations and organisations using the church. Arrangements will be made to enable members unable to attend church, for example those housebound or in hospital, to add their signatures. Glasgow Presbytery will organise Scott’s induction service at Stamperland. This is likely to be towards the end of November or beginning of December. At present, Scott Blythe is minister at the Presbyterian Church of Morris Plains in New Jersey, USA. Scott moved to America in 2008 having spent time as minister of Tron Kirk, Moredun in Edinburgh and as University Chaplain at Robert Gordon’s University in Aberdeen. For a period of four years he served as a police officer and a detective in the Essex Constabulary. Although currently working in America, Scott was brought up in East Kilbride and gained a BSc degree at Strathclyde University. He subsequently studied for his BD degree at the University of Glasgow and MBA at Robert Gordon’s University. Scott is married to Liz who is a pastor in the Presbyterian Church of America. Scott and Liz have two young children - Duncan aged four and Eilidh aged two. We look forward to welcoming the Blythe family to Stamperland Church and to having Scott as our minister. Cont. Page 6. 6. VACANCIES IN THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND There are more than 125 vacant charges in the Church of Scotland. With many of the vacant charges comprising several churches and parishes the total number of congregations seeking a new minister is well over 250. How good it feels to be moving to the end of our vacancy! 70 YEARS AGO IN OUR CHURCH In 1947 one of the jobs of the Church Officer was to wash and dry the crockery used at church meetings. The amount he was paid depended on the number of people at the meeting. For doing the “washing-up” for up to 20 persons he received 12.5 pence; for between 20 and 50 people he received an additional 25p; for between 50 and 100 people he received a further 37.5p For a gathering of 100 people he would receive a total of 75p. Now, thankfully, volunteers do this free of charge (and can use the dishwasher)! A new Fund-raising idea - a Military Whist Drive - was proposed. The idea was that a member would invite three friends to the Whist Drive and charge each one 12.5p. The member would provide catering for all four at the table. The idea proved a great success and the first event raised £50. If the 12.5p per guest had been the only source of income then that would imply over 500 people were present at more than 133 tables. Somehow, I believe there must have been other sources of income. The number of people who had church keys was an issue. It was resolved that only the minister, session clerk, treasurer, church officer and Mr McKirdy would have keys. Mr McKirdy was the owner of a newsagents shop across from the church. Does anyone know if the arrangement with Mr McKirdy was that if people wanted into the church they could go to McKirdy’s shop and ask for the key? Norrie Bolton, Session Clerk The New Minister The new minister stood at the church door greeting the members as they left the Sunday morning service. Most of the people were very generous telling the new minister how much they liked his message, except for one man who said, "That was a very dull and boring sermon, pastor." A few minutes later, the same man again appeared in line and said, "I don't think you did much preparation for your message." Once again, the man appeared, this time muttering, "You really blew it. You didn't have a thing to say, pastor." Finally, the minister could stand it no longer. He went to one of the deacons and inquired about the man. "Oh, don't let that guy bother you," said the deacon. "He's a little slow. All he does is go around repeating whatever he hears other people saying." 7. It is hard to believe that our break from Easter to October is com- |j ing to an end and that we are now thinking about our winter sylla- mL.T'gSw bus. Unfortunately we haven't seen much warm sunny summer weather but we have lots to look forward to in the coming months in the Guild syllabus. Here is a preview of what we have in store from October to December.

Each profile provides indicators for a range of health outcomes (e.g. life expectancy, mortality, hospitalisation) and health determinants (e.g. smoking levels, breastfeeding, income, employment, crime, education). These profiles build on the success of both the 2004 community health profiles published by NHS Health Scotland (www.scotpho.org.uk/communityprofiles), and of the ‘Let Glasgow Flourish’ report published by GCPH in April 2006 (www.gcph.co.uk/content/view/17/34/).
